More like L.A. De Da, because both hosts are together in the City of Angels: scoring sibling Olympi at a camera show, talking “new” Kodak film stocks with tasty typography, and shooting the works with a half-frame Swiss, a square-frame German and an American GOOSE. Tune in - it'll change your wife!

* this episode is dedicated to the memory of the great photographer Diane Keaton

* our second bad review has utterly vanished!

* Jeff’s results with the half-cookie Alpa 10s were delightful...

* shooting with the Polaroid GOOSE was a total kick...

* and the square-frame Zeiss Ikon Taxona - two-thirds of a cookie! - is a fun alternative to the elusive Mamiya Sketch

* at the wondrous L.A. Camera Expo, Gabe snapped up an Olympus 35RC, while Jeff went for big brother 35SPn, a rarer version of the 35SP with better typography

* Chad GPT misled us again! he made Jeff buy a Kilfitt Makro-Kilar in Exakta mount, insisting it was Alpa

* Kodacolor returns - or does it? once again, all we care about is good typography!

* how embarrassing: Jeff’s nemesis has entered the world of fashion

* we had a blast at the Bike Shed complex in DTLA’s Arts District

* we actually empty the Prodigious Mailbag™ for a change
